Any way to MP running with the 8.1 release preview? It doesn't run at all for me even in compatibility mode.

Hi Team,
I am in the same boat, please find attached watchdog logs.
If possible would be nice to get mediaportal working again as bugs are better then no mediaportal for me :)
And appears the only way to remove 8.1 currently is to re-install windows, which I would prefer not to do.
Let me know if there is any way I can help, and thanks again.

    Answer is pretty clear in the log files:
    [2013-06-27 21:52:51,182] [Error ] [MPMain ] [ERROR] - *******************************************
    [2013-06-27 21:52:51,199] [Error ] [MPMain ] [ERROR] - * ERROR, OS can't be used for MediaPortal *
    [2013-06-27 21:52:51,199] [Error ] [MPMain ] [ERROR] - *******************************************

    Running is blocked. This would require a code change.

    What's the exact windows version? (Maybe you can run "winver" and capture a screenshot?)
    According to code, only window 8 RTM is supported now. It will require code change as said before...

    Should probably be set to "not supported" instead of "blocked", and @Game_dude should volunteer to QA it ;)

    I guess M$ changed a bunch of stuff in 8.1. I thought 8.1 would have been like a service pack where you could still run previous programs with out any problems.

    it's not that it's necessarily incompatible it's that MP looks at the windows version and says I don't know what this is, I am not even going to try;)[DOUBLEPOST=1372362828][/DOUBLEPOST]mediaportal 1.4.1 ? :p

    you are right.. I spotted why it's not working. For what ever reason, the 3x recently added / watched for TV series, etc was killing it.. I've removed it for now and it's started working again. I'll have to dig a little deeper as to why it's happened all of a sudden.

    I meant use MP client to try to spot how it's requesting streams for specific channels and then try to do the same with VLC. TV Server development looks dead so I'm afraid you're going to have to figure that out by yourself if it's even possible.

    Looks like there's some kind of error regarding translations that I can't pinpoint about Subcentral. You'll find it in the log file I attached to my previous message. I don't understand it because I use MP in english, I search for subtitles in english and not in my native language, so I can't figure out what's translation got to do...
